CHINESE CERTIFICATES.
Fraudulent Ones Found Being Used
at San Franciaco.

Fraudulent Ones Found Being Used
at San Francisco.
A report was recently received at the
Treasury Department from Special Agent
Beecher at San Francisco in regard to the
landing at that port Of three Cinnamon
on return certificates purporting to have
been issued by A. VI. Bash, collector of
customs at Port Townsend, but which
certificates were subsequently discovered
to be fraudulent, the collectors signature
having been forged. The blank forms used
were genuine, and are supposed to be part
OF q lot stolen from the custom house In
1855. IL is said that the forgery was CON-
mitted by person who knew that there
was break of about 100 numbers In the
series recorded at Port Townsend and that
he purposely made use Of the intervening
numbers. In view OF the fact that the
collector at San Francisco, Portland, and
Astoria have been advised not to accept as
q, nune returned certificates bearing any OF
the nun bers comprised within the break in
the series, the department does not feel
called upon to take any action In the case
beyond advising prosecution Of the
offenders should they be discovered.

EXPERIENCE

Has taught us that the majority
of our patrons prefer paying $500
for n Boys Suit always providing
they get good vaiuo for their money
to buying less expensive clothing. lis
hardly within our province to comment
on this fact; It is quite enough for us to
know IL and then provide for the de-
mand, and we have done this so thor
oughly this season that never before in
the history Of our business career have
we approached the quantity, quality
and variety of styles we are to-day of
fering at $500 a suit to Mt boys, ages 4
to ID. There is no shape with any claim
to fashion that isn't represented among
these $500 suits. The Norfolk, the
plated, the plain, the rounded aud
square cut Jackets. The Sailor Suits,
the Blouse Suit, in fact every style that's
made. The fabrics from which these
suits are made are not only all wool, but
great many are made from imported
Scotch cheviots, English tweeds, aud
fine American cassime res, and Mt $500
suit are absolutely beyond compare.
sAKs AND COMPANY.
Hats for boys and men claim great
deal of our attention now, as the season
to discard the old and don the new is
here. We have in the past done great
business in hats. If we deserved your
patronage last season we deserve it
more this, for the variety of styles and
kinds we are now showing far exceeds
any of our exhibits In tho past. The
prices we name are lower, because the
more we sell the cheaper we can afford
to sell. Our spring styles are now COM
pIete, the newest shapes, the most de-
sirable shades, and the most popular
blocks. All are here awaiting your selec-
ton. Boys Hats from e5c to $I.75.
Mems Derbys from 75c to $4.O0.

The rapidity with which our Shoes for
Ladies, Gentlemen, Boys, and Misses
move seem to increase day by day. The
vast business we do in shoes Keeps one
man constantly on the market attending
to the supply, and we have a corps OF
gentlemanly salesmen here attending to
the demand. Our shoes are manurac-
tured for us. We pay manufacturers'
prices only--not jobbers'. We there
fore save our patrons the middleman's
profits; that is one reason why we sell
SO many shoes.

EXCHANGE ON NEW YORK.
sharp Practice on the Government At
tempted by Texas Bank.


There was received at the United states
treasury for redemption a package of per.
fectly new United States notes of all de-
nominations to the amount OF 81 900, which
were mutilated by having hole punched
through them, through which cord had
been passed, and then sealed on the outside
Of the wrapper. The package was sent to
Washington by express by national bank
in Texas. The mutilatlon was evidently
intended as an additional safeguard in the
transportation Of the notfs. This is said to
be the practice of many Of the southern
express companies In the transportation of
money to the treasury for redemption, but
the present is the first instance where new,
uninjured notes have been treated In this
way. 1t is not known whether these par.
ticular notes were mutilated by the bank or
by the express company, but II is thought
at the department that IL was done by the
bank to secure exchange on New York at
the expense Of the government. Acting
Treasurer Whelpley refused TO receive the
notes, and directed their return to the bank
at its expense, with statement that such
mutilation is considered a violation Of law
and will not be permitted by the depart.

today the three story brick building. 4 IA

and several men are supposed to be
buried in the debris. At the time
several men were in the yard at
the rear exit, it being the noon hour.
Several men were sitting in the win
dows when the building began to os-
cillate. All at once the rear sapced
inwardly and those in the rear and
near the windows made their escape by
jumping. They hastened to the front
OF the building and found the wreck
here more complete than in the rear
The whole force seemed concentrating
over the offices, pulling the walls in
wardly. The police patrol and liremen
quickly appeared and began the work
of digging for those buried under the
ruins, though hanging walls threatened
another crash. One man, August Stiff
fins, painter. was taken from the
ruins at 1870 p. IN. He was badly
crushed, but is still alive. He saws
all the men in the front part of the
building escaped. The search for
more victims is progressing.

A Settler Who Was Entirely Too
Slow.

ASHTON, OAK, June 3.-It is anus
ing to read the decisions of Sparks in
MS eX-parte suspensions or cancelIa-
tlons OF entries in this locality. In
some cases he suspends or cancels en-
Tries because the claimant did not re-
side upon the land long enough. Where
that reason fails he, with ".Iacksonian
zeal makes u reason. Your cor.es-
pondent's attention has been cnlled to
case where he Cancelled claim be-
cause the claimant lived on the land
too long. The presumption law re-
qulres the claimant to make proof in
side of thirty-three months. In the
case in question the claimant was una
BILE to make proof within the time, but
resided on the land and there was no
adverse claim. Former ercommlssioners
have construed the law to permit set
tiers in such cases to make proof after
the thirty-three months, providing no
adverse right attached, hnt Sparks
must remove the precedent in order to
find more excuses TO sustain his policy
OF wholesale cancellations.

An Aged Woman Pardoned.

MADISON, June 1.-Gov. Rusk has
issued a pardon to Mrs. Amelia Zim-
merman. woman now about 70 years
of age, who has been in state prison
since 1871 under life sentence for the
supposed murder of her husband. The
case is peculiarly sad one. The hus-
band died in suspicious manner, and
the post mortem examination showed
that he was poisoned by strychnine.
Mrs. Zimmerman was arrested and
convicted as his murderer. The only
evidence against her was that of lit
tie girl, who said that she had once
seen a German school teacher, board
ing at Zimmerman's, put his arms
around Mrs. Zimmerman and try to
kiss her. From this the prosecution
argued that criminal intimacy ex-
listed between the wife and the school
teacher and that she had taken this
means to get rid Of her husband and
marry the teacher. Upon this f1imsy
evidence she was sentenced to state
prison for life. Efforts to secure her
pardon have been made from time to
time, but without avail until governor
Rusk made personal investigation OF
the case, from which he concluded that
her imprisonment was a gross injus-
tice, and now after spending sixteen
years Of her life at Waupun, she is
again set at liberty. Three children
residing in Green Lake county, this
state. will care for the aged woman un-
til the end OF her days.

New YORK, June 3.-Talmage has
come vigorously to the front with a
plan to gather IN the people whom the
death of Beecher diverted from Ply
mouth church. Even b fore the blow
to Plymouth, ralmage's tabernacle
could and did hold us many persons,
and The regular membership had passed
that of the other organization. On
S',iit!ay mornings stream of strangers
USED TO pour acruss the great bridge,
but at the Brooklyn end it divided i'll
to two not very unequal parts, one OF
which went afoot to Brecher's church
near by, while the other tpuk street
cars for Talmage's. The stream still
runs in rnlimlrished quantity, but
meme Of it r+t"s,D"s z P,t.ousll, and the
tabernacle is 40. b.g enough, even with
its seats for 1900, to absorb it. The
energetic Talmage has been worried by
this excess of fame, and has labored
hard to stop the loss of it. Now he
has secured contributions and loans
sufficient to build wing to the already
enormous church. This annex will
have peWs for thousand, and it will
be erected this summer. Talmage is
now the only preacher i'll New York ol
Brooklyn with a national popularity
sufficient to constitute him an ex.
hibit which travellers care to see, and
he says: owe shall add wings to oul
house just as long as the people and
my voice will fill them"
